上智不教而成，下愚虽教无益，中庸之人，不教不知也。

古者圣王，有“胎教”之法，怀子三月，出居别宫，目不邪视，耳不妄听，音声滋味，以礼节之。

书之玉版，藏诸金匮。

生子孩提，师保固明，孝仁礼义，导习之矣。

凡庶纵不能尔，当及婴稚，识人颜色，知人喜怒，便加教诲，使为则为，使止则止，比及数岁，可省笞罚。

父母威严而有慈，则子女畏慎而生孝矣。

吾见世间无教而有爱，每不能然，饮食运为，恣其所欲，宜诚翻奖，应呵反笑，至有识知，谓法当尔。

骄慢已习，方复制之，捶挞至死而无威，忿怒日隆而增怨，逮于成长，终为败德。

孔子云：“少成若天性，习惯如自然。

”是也。

俗谚曰“教妇初来，教儿婴孩。

”诚哉斯语。

凡人不能教子女者，亦非欲陷其罪恶，但重于呵怒伤其颜色，不忍楚挞惨其肌肤耳。

当以疾病为谕，安得不用汤药针艾救之哉？又宜思勤督训者，可愿苛虐於骨肉乎？诚不得已也！父子之严，不可以狎；骨肉之爱，不可以简。

简则慈孝不接，狎则怠慢生焉。

人之爱子，罕亦能均，自古及今，此弊多矣。

贤俊者自可赏爱，顽鲁者亦当矜怜。

有偏宠者，虽欲以厚之，更所以祸之。

齐朝有一士大夫，尝谓吾曰：“我有一儿，年已十七，颇晓书疏，教其鲜卑语及弹琵琶，稍欲通解，以此伏事公卿，无不宠爱，亦要事也。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Not many people know about the clouded leopard. Even scientists don’t know much about the animal in the wild because it is so private. We do know that the clouded leopard isn’t actually a leopard. It is a species of its own. However, it does have spots like a leopard. They help it blend into the background in the forest.What else do we know about the cat? It is one of the best climbers of all wild cats. This skill is clearly imprinted in the kittens early on by their mothers and by instinct. In the wild, the cat lives in the tropical rain forests of Asia. It hunts small animals, such as squirrels and monkeys. It is listed on the United States Endangered Species Act. This protects it from being hunted. Scientists have speculated that the wild population is getting smaller, but no actual numbers are available.into extinction.The Clouded Leopard Project has recently begun a conservation effort in Thailand. It is a natural home of the clouded leopard. Funds will be given to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo to help with the breeding of these cats. Part of the money also will help save the habitat of the wild cats. People will work to monitor these wild cats. They will be photographed instead of being sedated, or drugged, to be tagged（加标签）. Sedating clouded leopards could cause the cats’ bodies to lose too much water, or worse.The project has had some great successes in the last few years. Two cubs were born in the United States, and two were born in Thailand. Members of the Clouded Leopard Project hope the urge to protect such species will become embedded in people’s minds. They sponsor several education programs at zoos. They also sponsor programs to directly help the cats. Through their work they ultimately will increase the population of this species.65. What made a clouded leopard not easy to find in the forest?A. Spots like a leopard.B. A species of its own.C. Best climbing skills.D. Extinction of such animals.66. _____ is not included in the Clouded Leopard Project?A. Breeding clouded leopards in zoos.B. Monitoring the cats by labeling them.C. Starting educational programs at zoos.D. Saving the cat’s natur al habitat.67. The underlined word “embedded” means _____.A. focusedB. rootedC. determinedD. talented68. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Clouded leopard is a rare kind of leopard with nice spots.B. Lack of food in the wild makes the survival of the cats more difficult.C. The Clouded Leopard Project aims at increasing the population of the cat.D. Observing clouded leopards’ behavior protects the cats from being hunted.(B)(C)With greenhouse gas emissions（排放）hitting record levels and passing climate scientist's worst predictions, a new group of Chinese activists is making its voice heard at the United Nations climate talks, the COP17, which was held in Durban, South Africa.The delegation of independent Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) believes that civil society must play a bigger role in the global climate crisis. C Plus is the name given to the project launched by 42 Chinese NGOs, calling for domestic and global action to fight climate change. And they think the best way of demanding governments' action is to take action by themselves. The message is clear: climate action is too important and too urgent. It can't wait. The top-down process of negotiations that we are seeing at the UN is too slow.C Plus has three components, which together explain its name. C Plus stands for: Beyond Commitment. This means that NGOs must put pressure on their governments to achieve targets that are beyond those that have been officially stated. Second is Beyond China -- in other words, NGOs outside and inside of China together must strive to influence their respective governments to take action. Finally, Beyond Climate. The project targets not just carbon reduction but othergovernment's task of environment responsibility and raising public awareness in environment protection.And NGOs can claim some notable successes. NGOs sponsored “26-degree air conditioning office”among the public, which later became a government regulation. A group of Chinese citizens organized together and stopped the construction of a dangerous chemical plant in Xiamen.In total, there are 3,539 environment NGOs in China, in which 55.2 percent now have their own offices, and 26 percent have fixed source of investment. However, most environment NGOs still face problems including difficulty in raising money, shortage in personnel and weak organization ability in their development process.In Durban, Chinese NGOs have arrived as a team and are prepared to state their demands.72. The passage is mainly about _____.A. Durban climate change conferenceB. environment NGOs in ChinaC. C plus project launched by NGOsD. achievements of NGOs73. Which of the following is true about the C Plus?A. It is an organization devoted to controlling the greenhouse gas emission.B. It is a program aiming at influencing government to take action to protect environment.C. It is a project designed by the government to unite NGOs inside and outside China.D. It is a statement calling for public awareness in environment protection.74. Most environment NGOs don’t lack _____.A. financial supportB. human resourcesC. development goalsD. organizational skills75. What can be inferred from the passage about the NGOs?A. They once pushed the government to make a regulation concerning office temperature.B. They pushed forward the slow negotiations by adopting the top-down style.C. They were directly involved in making environment-related policies.D. They successfully pressurized the government to achieve the unofficially stated targets. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachAutism is a disorder of early development that causes severe problems in thinking, communicating with others, and feeling a part of the outside world. Taken from the Greek word autos meaning “alone,” autism prevents children from developing normal social relationships, even with their parents.Not all autistic infants and children are alike; in fact, there is no single typical clinical picture of the disorder. However, certain types of behavior are noted in a majority of autistic children. Autistic infants will not cuddle, and they do not like to be picked up. The usual things that children do to imitate adults, such as waving goodbye, are not observed in autistic children. Instead, autistic children very often repeat such movements as flicking a hand, twisting an arm or leg, or banging the head over and over. Strange gestures and distorted facial expressions are common.Language develops slowly, if at all. Some autistic children remain totally silent, while others merely repeat words they hear or communicate by gestures. They have little or no interest in making friends. They smile rarely, if ever, and will avoid making eye contact. Unlike normal children, they tend to fixate on a single object or task, such as spinning the wheels on a toy car over and over.At one time autism was blamed on bad parenting. Now itis believed to be caused by abnormalities in the brain. Several possible causes of these abnormalities have been proposed: an illness the mother suffered during her pregnancy; too little oxygen at the time of birth; or possiblyan abnormal gene. In some cases, X rays have revealed abnormalities in the structure of the brain itself. There is no way to diagnose autism apart from observing the child's behavior closely over a period of time.Although some patient-tailored programs can help children function better, the life of these children is generally hard to predict. Some will remain severely impaired throughout their lives. A majority always will depend heavily on support from relatives and professional caregivers, and may require special living arrangements and close supervision. However, progressive changes in the treatment of these children have enabled about one in six to live independently and work productively. What’s more, the intelligence level of the child partly affects the ability to function.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. If you have been following the news you will know that the world’s population recently reached seven billion – probably on 31st October.The statistics concerning human population growth are astonishing. It was only 12 years ago, in 1999, that the world’s population reached six billion. In 1969 there were 3.5 billion people on the planet, which is to say our numbers have doubled in only 42 years. A century ago, in 1911, there were only 1.8 billion of us: 26% of today’s total.As for future population growth, it seems there will probably be eight billion people by 2030 and nine billion by around 2050. After that, predictions vary: many experts think the total will rise more slowly, perhaps reaching ten billion by the end of the century; but a few believe the fast rise might continue, leading to a global population of as many as 15 billion by 2100. There are big differences between rates of population growth around the world. The fastest rates are generally in the world’s poorer countries, including those in sub-Saharan Africa, while the populations of rich countries are mostly growing much more slowly, or even shrinking in a few cases. (Germany and Japan, for example, will have smaller populations in 2050 than they do now.) This fact explains another interesting statistic: in 1900 Europe contained around 25% of the world’s people, but in 2050 it will have less than 10%.There are many reasons for fast population growth, but the most significant include medical advances and generally improved standards of living in poor countries, which mean fewer deaths from diseases or from malnutrition. Indeed, average life expectancy across the world has risen 20 years since the 1950s, from 48 to 68, and the biggest rises have been in poor countries.Some people already talk of a crisis of overpopulation, expecting there to be wars over access to natural resources and warning that, because those resources are limited, it is impossible for seven billion people (let alone nine or ten) to have the kind of high-consumption lifestyles that people in the world’s richer countries currently enjoy. Others, however, believe the planet can accommodate another two or three billion humans without a social or environmental disaster.We can only hope the optimists will be proved right.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS)81. When was the world’s population half of what it is now?82. There seems to be a connection between a country’s rates of population and_________________________________________.83. What contributed to the fast population growth?84. Some people predicted that the conflict between _______________________ may lead towars.第II卷（共45分）I．Translation （20%）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 是到了我们为国家承担责任的时候了。

You can hear a soft sound as they approach．They look similar to skateboards but are actually quite different．They are longboards and are rapidly becoming a more common and stylish way to quickly get around．Longboarding began in the 1950s, originally known as sidewalk surfing because riders would move in a way that resembled catching a wave．The boards got their name because they are much longer and wider than skateboards, usually between 90and 150centimeters in length．Every kind of longboard consists of trucks, four wheels and a long deck．The size and shape vary, however, depending on how a rider plans to use it．________．Their most basic use is for travel．Commuting （往返） via longboard is now common on college campuses in the U．S..However, they are good for far more than travel．Most longboarders enjoy the feeling that the board gives, a feeling similar to surfing．But some adventurous riders want more than a feeling．The sport of speedboarding appeals to these Thrill﹣seekers who are looking for an adrenalin （肾上腺素） rush．Speedboards are designed for riding down hills at high speeds while keeping balance．Since the sport can be dangerous, riders usually wear suits and helmets, in the event of a fall．Those who don't have the need for speed put their longboards to other good uses．Riders can compete in slalom （障碍赛） racing or long﹣distance riding, both of which require accuracy and strength．If you want something completely unique, there is even longboard dancing．This stylish set of moves is pertormed while rolling on a board．For feeling, speed or style, give a longboard a try．You might just discover you enjoy the ride．（1）We may learn from the underlined sentence that________．A longboards can only be used for travel．B skateboards are meant for doing tricks．C shorter cousins don't intend to play jokes．D longboards are popular on college campuses．（2）If you are a thrill﹣seeker，you had better choose________．A Speedboarding．B slalom racing．C long﹣distance riding．D longboard dancing．（3）The author wrote the passage to________．A study the origin of longboards．B inform people of the latestproduct． C investigate the benefits of longboards． D encourage people to take up longboarding．（4）What would be the best title for the passage？________A Commuting via Longboard．B A Feeling Similar to Surfing．C Longboarding Getting Around．D Skateboards and Longboards．18. There are various ways to make your building more sustainable and energy efficient, but the most discussed area to improve is the roof．For years, we've heard about the benefits of white roofs．green roofs and roofs covered in solar panels, but depending on the building and its location, one of these types may make a bigger impact than another．For building owners in hot, dry climates, tuming your roof white is one of the cheapest things you can do to dramatically cut your energy use, but what about buildings in colder climates? Which choice produces the most benefit?A study recentlv published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology details a full life cycle assessment Of each roof type for buildings located in Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary, Canada and comes up with a clear winner．The study specifically modeled office buildings with a large roof of 1, 340square meters, assuming a 50﹣year life span（寿命）for the building, and declared solar roofs the definite winner with green roofs coming in second and white roofs last．White roofs performed the poorest for cold climates because although they reduce cooling requirements in hot weather and also add to the life span of the building, they actually increased the heating requirements in colder climates during the longer cold weather stretches．Green roofs perfomed much better by both lowering cooling needs and heating needs, improving air quality and reducing storm water runoff, but in the end solar roofs had the greater impact．The on﹣site electricity generation of solar roofs ________ the negative emissions（排放）from their production and transportation and the continued use over years ends up being a major positive by reducing the amount of coal﹣powered electricity that a building uses．You can read more specifics about how the different roofs performed in the full 1ife cycle assessment ________．（1）The study mentioned in the passage________．A was carried out in 4cold cities altogether．B was conducted by the Journal of Industrial Ecology．C shows white roof type is the cheapest in dryclimates． D indicates solar roof is the best choice in colder climates．（2）Green roofs in cold weather________．A shorten the life span of a building．B prevent storm water runoff．C reducecooling and heating demands． D increase the heating requirements．（3）Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word"offsets"in the passage？________ A Produces． B Strengthens． C Sets off． D Reduces the effect of．（4）Where is the passage probably taken from？________A A textbook．B A TV program．C A website．D A science magazine．19.

Marc had worked in the city hall's engineering departme, nt for so long that the city was laid out in his mind like a map, full of names and places．And then something happened that filled him with shock．One August afternoon, he discovered a card saying GREEN BOTTLE STREET at the back of the drawer．He checked the listed details．It was not there．It was a lost, a forgotten street, which existed in the heart of Montreal, not half a mile from city hall, and no one had known．He put the card in his pocket and the next day he went looking for the street with beating heart．At his first glance, Marc realized how it had gotten its unusual name．It was exactly like a bottle in shape．With the sun shining on the garden plots, and the blue sky overhead, the street gave him a sense of peace．A woman some sixty years of age was watering roses in the garden of the first house to his right．He announced, "I'm from the city engineering department, madam．"The woman recovered herself and set her watering can down．"________"she said．"We paid our taxes and made out a lot of forms and answered the questions of various officials．Then, after a while, we were sent no notices, so we paid no more taxes．No one bothered us at all．It was a long time before we understood that in some way they'd forgotten about us．"Marc nodded．Of course, if Green Bottle Street had been ignored by the city hall, no inspectors would go there, no tax collectors．All would pass merrily by．"For several years, the tenants（租户） here had lived in harmony with each other and the landlord．The owner became so attached to them that he gave them all he had when he died．I have lived here for more than twenty years．I hope to end my days here as well．" She smiled pleasantly at him, apparently forgetting for the moment that he carried in his pocket a bomb that could blow their little world to pieces．"You remind me of my nephew, "she said suddenly．"He was a dear boy．I was heartbroken when he died．I'm the last of my family, you know．"Marc thought of his noisy and violent landlady and neighbors．He could not recall when he had been spoken to with such simple goodwill．His heart warmed to this old lady．"1wonder, "he said slowly, "I am a good tenant, and I wonder…""Oh yes, "she leaned forward eagerly, "you could have the top floor of my house．I'm sureit would suit you．"Marc took the card out of his pocket and tore it across and dropped the pieces in the watering can．As far as he was concerned．Green Bottle Street would remain mislaid forever．（1）The underlined sentence"So you've found out at las"shows that the woman was________．A disappointed． B puzzled． C curious． D excited．（2）What can we know about Green Bottle Street from the passage？________A It would be renamed very soon．B It existed for at least 20years．C It got its name from a green bottle．D It was ignored due to its location．（3）It can be inferred that Marc________．A carried a bomb in his pocket．B hated inspectors and tax collectors．C lookedfor the long﹣lost street happily． D would probably move to Green Bottle Street．（4）Marc tore the card into pieces mainly because________．A he fellin love with the woman．B Green Bottle Street got mislaid．C it presented the wrong information．D he treasured the peace in Green Bottle Street．（5）From the passage we may know that________．A the woman's nephew resembled Marc a lot．B the woman was attached to where she lived．C tenants in Green Bottle Street often had conflicts．D Marc's landlord gave away what he had when he died．21. People will spend a large amount of time to save a few dollars．There's often a lightbulb moment that happens when you ask them to calculate their time﹣dollarvalue, because it reveals that they're spending more in soft costs than they're accounting for． Take a second to think about it．If you spend 3 hours avoiding paying﹩12 for something, You've saved money, but you've also been working at﹩4 per hour．If you're an entrepreneur（企业家）, your time is worth more than﹩4 per hour, and while your choice has saved a"hard"cost, You've spent more in your time．Energy and attention are two other soft resources we need to be thinking about, too．Soft costs are just as real as hard costs．In that 3 hours, you could have beendoing 300worth of income﹣generating, high﹣value activities．It's a bit different when you're employed by someone else, as you'll make the same whether you spend 3hours or 3 0minutes to get something done．However, the people who actively add more value to their organization before being paid to do so are the ones most likely to get a promotion or advancement that honors their contributions because they show up in a different way．The next time you're thinking of making a decision that involves hard costs, also consider the soft opportunity costs of what you're currently doing．No decision is made in a vacuum （真空）．Outside of"work"situations, think about how much time you spend doing things you'drather not do, say, cleaning your house．Is it worth $100 to not have to spend your weekend cleaning your house? Why should you clean your house any more than you should spend time with your kids?Keeping costs down is always a great thing to focus on．Just make sure that your focus on keeping costs down isn't also keeping your income or earning potential down．（1）According to Paragraph 2，which of the following belongs to a"hard"cost？________A Money．B Time．C Energy．D Attention．（2）The employee who is most likely to get promoted________．A shows up early every day．B works efficiently when paid．C spends more time than needed．D actively makes profit for the company．（3）What's the author's attitude towards spending weekends cleaning the house in Paragraph 5？________A Supportive．B Disapproving．C Sympathetic．D Uncertain．（4）How is the text organized？________A Opinion﹣Argument﹣Explanation．B Opinion﹣Description﹣Conclusion． C Introduction﹣Analysis﹣Conclusion． D Introduction﹣Comparison﹣Examples．六、第四部分写作（共两节，满分10分）第一节短文填词（共1小题；每小题10分，满分1 0分）阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示，2）首字母提示，3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词．所填单词要求意义准确，拼写正确．22.

Everyone has his own idol．While Shakespeare's followers absorb themselves in the wisdom of his masterpieces and Stephen Hawking inspires science lovers into the exploration of the universe，the one I admire most is Jack Ma，whose creativity and perseverance make him a legend as he is today（高分句型一）．Creativity is the stepping stone for Jack Ma's success，earning him the first barrel of gold in life and serving as the driving force for more challenges．Yet life is not always what weexpect it to be．What makes Jack Ma stand out is his never giving up when faced with difficulties and setbacks．Just as the saying goes，the man who has made up his mind to win will never say"impossible"．Everyone can be his own hero．Through Jack Ma and his story，I get to realize what one can achieve through all his efforts and that even if life is tough，I will be tougher and never fail to try（高分句型二）．。
